Thank you, Herr Bach. Music has great healing powers, doesn’t it? I understand the point Jeff was trying to make. My own point, not nearly as well articulated, is that it has been a horrible time in many ways for many people, and we all react to such levels of stress differently and should try not to judge. In our small family of four, three of us are now dealing with mental health problems in addition to the side effects to the shot that my husband and I have and for which there is no treatment. My older son, for example, went to an out of state college in 2020 when the most draconian policies were introduced. Because he was alone there, he became terrified of testing positive and having to quarantine (will they remember to bring him food?) He became obsessed with hand washing and germs (for example, he eats popcorn with chopsticks so he doesn’t have to touch it.) This has been going on for two years, and we are realizing it is a mental disorder that is not improving. He is not functioning very well since germs are everywhere and there’s not much he allows himself to do. He is only 20 years old, and I don’t know how he will live the rest of his life. My husband has had to deal with an incredible amount of vitriol from his large family, most of whom were educated in the best schools, are firmly democratic, and now believe we are lunatic anti-vaxxers. He has become withdrawn and angry. I have had quite a job just keeping our family together and have been dealing with extreme levels of anxiety. My point is our lives have been wrecked, and we have been dealing with the fallout in different ways. So being compassionate is a good thing, you never know what goes on in other people’s lives. In my opinion, the only people to blame are Fauci and the medical establishment, Pfizer and the Democratic party politicians. The rest of us are just dealing with this horror in any way we can.
